Leadership in non-profit organisations and across the humanitarian and development sector is often under scrutiny. Leaders are required to create a shared vision across dispersed individuals against the backdrop of complex humanitarian and development contexts. It is not easy. But could there be a new angle of introspection to learn what promising leadership looks like? PLOT TWIST. Below Deck is a Bravo reality TV show that follows yacht crews as they work looking after guests out at sea. Lauren and Teia unashamedly love it! So in an interesting turn of events (i.e. watching lots of episodes for research), Lauren and Teia take a closer look at Below Deck crew leadership qualities and what non-profits can learn.

SPOILER ALERT: Lauren and Teia talk about examples from across the Below Deck series in no particular order so there may be some revealing insights if you haven't seen them all yet! Below Deck is available to watch on Netflix and Hulu.
